Question

The population of city A is 26​% less than the population of city​ B, so city​ A's population is​ _____% of city​ B's.

Answer 1

74% because city B's population is considered to be 100%, so 26% less than 100% is 74%

Answer 2

The population of city A is
`74\%` of the population of city B

Explanation:

Let

y------> population of the city A

x-----> population of city B

we know that

`(100\%-26\%)=74\%=(74)/(100)=0.74`

so

`y=0.74x`

therefore

The population of city A is
`74\%` of the population of city B
